✔ TOUR ON SCHEDULE  | 13:00

Report from Eldey: The weather was the same as the one from the morning tour and the sightings were as equally awesome. We saw two pods of very cooperative white-beaked dolphins that totaled about 30 individuals. There were 3 minke whales in the area as well that gave us quite a show, coming to the hull of the boat a couple of times as close as 20 meters. We could notice behavior pf one individual that always went towards us, but when we expected it to surface next to the boat at 12 o'clock it would dive under us and come up at 6 o'clock. An amazing tour with a full boat of happy faces.

✔ TOUR ON SCHEDULE  | 09:00

Report from Eldey: The weather could not have been kinder, as we sailed long flat seas and no wind. But this experience was beyond a comfortable ride. This was a tour that will remain in the memory of all our guests. Through out the tour our passengers saw 3 out of our 4 regular visitors. At some point we were surrounded by 3 minke whales, foraging around us, while sometimes popping up really close to our vessel. From time to time a pod of around 5 harbor porpoises would make their presence noticed as well, but in their classical shy manner. On our way back we encountered a pod of 10 to 15 white-beaked dolphins, very chilled and curious about us. We could have not wished for a greater finale!
